Exactly my thought when I first read it. Comes off very antagonistic. For no reason other than he's butt hurt over some real life interaction, probably with his sister, and is looking to take his frustrations out on a willing huckleberry.
It was written with intentional douchiness that was completely unnecessary. Speaks volumes about his mental state to me.
Maybe go for a walk in the forest for awhile op, you're wound so tight you're going pop bud.
No one's triggered in this thread other than the OP. It's right there in the first post.

Best term to ever describe the trolls in this thread, deplorables.

Child abuse. Plain and simple. At six years old I barely let my kids pick what they wanted for lunch.
that's what i thought.

You really should not abuse your child. And post it on a forum.

Good job. I’m sure they turned out to be unquestioning, judgmental, ignorant pieces of shit, just like you.

Yes, a six year old should be having fun and playing. She can now.
The rest of your post is just nonsense.

I don't disagree, but you need to work the word ignorant into it

We handled it straight on. I doubt she was grasping it entirely but at least she understood what was happening when it did. She understands much better now and realizes that her actions will often result in hatred toward her. She know why too.Just this past weekend I was reading an article about the indigenous Americans approach to gender identification. They believe people can have “Two-Spirits” and it’s why they wait until children self identify before they are given a name.
Makes you wonder who the real “savages” are.
My only question for you Unclebaldrick, is how do you tell your child that some of her family will not accept her for who she is? I can’t even imagine how you could begin to explain that to a 6 year old.
edit: I looked for the article I was reading to post a link and couldn’t find it. I did find a similar article, though;
The 'two-spirit' people of indigenous North Americans
This week's guest editor, Antony Hegarty, is a fan of the book The Spirit and the Flesh. He asked its author, Walter L Williams, to write a feature for the Guardian/music on the 'two-spirit' tradition in Native American culturewww.theguardian.com
We talk to her about issues a lot. We let her know that she is not alone, nor is this a new thing. NYT had an article recently documenting transgender children hundreds of years ago. We discussed it. It is important that she be able to love and accept herself- especially in the face of the hatred that she is encountering from the cult of christians and other small minded and misguided people. Our library is pretty well stocked with kids books on the topic (librarians here are pretty cool, a while back a local Republican donated all of Rush Limbaugh's childrren's history books to the library. The librarians threw them away to the great rage of the local bigot mafia.)
I know, I know, these idiots think that not teaching her to be ashamed of herself constitutes child abuse. Pro-life my ass.
Funny that there is any parent who can claim that a six year old cannot understand gender. They either have no children or are completely alienated from any they have. This is a totally false assertion.
